The Big Sky Conference has released its 2026‑27 women’s basketball schedule, marking the first season with eleven full‑time members and a 20‑game double round‑robin format that guarantees each team home and away matchups against every opponent.
Expanded Schedule and Championship Plans
Idaho enters the new campaign as the reigning tournament champion, having swept both the regular season and the championship last year, and will aim to repeat the feat.
The 2027 championship will stretch over six days, featuring 22 programs and a revised bracket structure, with the opening night scheduled for Friday and games pitting the top ten and eleven seeds against one another.
Starch Madness, a separate March event running from March 5‑10, 2027, will also take place, and ticket sales are slated to be announced in the coming weeks.
